Текст песни Slippin' (Note to Self) - Apollo Bebop

Said no to drugs
Said no to alcohol
Said no to school dropped out back in the fall
I probably could have finished
But I didn't
I mean my heart just wasn't in it
And if you ain't doing things with gusto
Then you're in trouble
Like uh oh
Your love must show
Don't be a dumbo
And if you're mind is stuck inside the stucco
Then maybe you should mix things up
Like its gumbo and trust your gut so
You can try to burst out of that bubble
The sooner the better
Suggest to do it on the double
Cuz the faster you can figure out the puzzle
The faster you'll succeed all right bucko
Yo
And in addition to your hustle
It's gonna take a little bit of luck so
Be patient
And stay humble
Cuz nothing great happens in a day
It takes a couple
But
In the event that I forget
What my goal is and what I define as success
I wrote this
To remind myself that
In the event I go astray
And need a compass so I can find my way
I wrote this
To remind myself that

Nothing in life fulfills my soul
Quite like music so
Ima keep on making this shit because
Nothing in life fulfills my soul
Quite like music so
Ima keep on making this shit

I'm just a rap vocalist
Flows like jazz soloists
That's why when I applied I snagged the last opening
To be the emcee of Apollo Bebop
Get the crowd bouncing like Reeboks
And keep hot like tea pots
Mama said she likes the Jazz with the Hip Hop
She got an accent that's just the way that she talks
In this game thicker than the redwoods we got
Goals to rise above and reach up to the treetops
And see spots higher than where nosebleed seats watch
That's why we come correct the second that the beat drops
We love putting the work in
Only fresh shit we serving
Cuz all these so called top shelf rappers need to be restocked
They only got the shelf life of like 4 days
Career will die before faster than they'll ever die of old age
Selling out is not an option
No way Jose
We in this for the long run don't care if it's a slow pace
But
In the event that I forget
What my goal is and what I define as success
I wrote this
To remind myself that
In the event I go astray
And need a compass so I can find my way
I wrote this
To remind myself that

Nothing in life fulfills my soul
Quite like music so
Ima keep on making this shit because
Nothing in life fulfills my soul
Quite like music so
Ima keep on making this shit

Yo
To the next level we taking it taking it
Cuz our lives depend on us making it making it
So we gon' keep on making this making this here
To the next level we taking it taking it
Cuz our lives depend on us making it making it
So we gon' keep on making this making this here
